Sorry about the Ninja thing and the third person thing last time.

The Ninja walked towards the others, silent-like. The five did not flinch either, as creepy as the newcomer seem to look.

“Why are you here?” asked goodd.

“The same reason you are here.” The Ninja replied. “The Ninja seeks freedom from such grotesque creatures.”

“So… you are asking to join us?” asked GeneralGore.

“The Ninja has no choice but to. The Ninja cannot seek freedom alone.”

Goodd smiled. “Then welcome to our team.”

“One question, though.” Pirkid247 said.

“Yes?” The Ninja said.

“Why do you talk in third person?”

“Why do you talk in first person?”

Pirkid247 was about to reply when he realized he had no reply, and thought about it, stumped.

Nearby, a rustling bush gave a little growl. Red, glowing eyes shined dimly through the bush. A green-gray color contrasted from the lush green bush. At least until the thing decided to jump out of the bush and attacked the six people, crushing the bush in the process.

The Ninja, being the first to sense the presence, jumped into the air and launched a flurry of steel at the Flood, stopping its course and making it drop onto the ground. Closer inspection revealed it as a combat Jr. Balrog. Its mouth, much like most other Flood, was distorted into a scream. A wing was gone, and the second wing was full of holes. Both of its arms were replaced with green-gray tentacles. It seemed that it took more than one infection form to infect this demon.

The combat form slowly rose, and gave a deafening roar.

“Attack!” goodd yelled.

Everyone grabbed a shotgun, with the exception of HeavyDivide, who took a rocket launcher. They circled the dangerous being, giving off shell after shell, most hitting it. When the shotguns ran out of ammo, the combat form still stood.

Combat Jr. Balrog raised its tentacles, and materialized what seemed to be a flaming ball of garbage. Apparently the infection also molded certain magic attacks. Goodd kept that in mind.

With a roar, it shot the ball towards Pirkid247.

Forming a chunk of ice, he attempted to repel the ball of green and gray. When the ice collided with the ball, the ice melted, and it seemed that the ball kept on going. At that split second, Pirkid247 muttered, “Why is it always me?” As he braced for death, the ball slowly disintegrate, and then turned to ashes. “Phew.”

Fridge7, seeing an opening, took a fuel rod cannon and emptied it onto the living undead. Neon plasma sizzled on the ground, contrasting to the green blood of the combat Jr. Balrog. The combat form took much damage, but it seemed that it didn’t want to go down alone.

With all of its remaining strength it sent a group of flaming green gray balls in every direction in an intense frenzy. The Ninja managed to get a steely through the heart of the creature; that was where the infection forms lived.

The impact of the meteors sent the six soldiers in different directions. Goodd and the Ninja were sent flying into the dungeon. Pirkid247 and GeneralGore were sent to Ellinia. HeavyDivide flew to Perion, and Fridge7 headed for Kerning City.

When goodd landed in the dungeon, he hit his head on a growing tree. “Ow…” he moaned as his consciousness slowly drifted away.

When he woke up, his head ached and throbbed. Then he remembered what happened: he and his other soldiers were sent flying in different directions. He got a helmet out, and placed it on his head. He pressed a button on his helmet, and a blue light flickered on. This blue light was a beacon to those who wore the helmet. The others had been given a helmet before they left. He wasn’t sure about The Ninja, though.

On his helmet display, he saw five other flickers of light. One of the blue lights was close by. On the helmet, he sent a meeting point, positioned at Ellinia. He also sent a message to eradicate the Flood in their location.

The good news was that since everyone was scattered, they could get rid of the Flood off of Victoria Island faster. The bad news was that survival would be harder without the others.

He got on his feet, rubbed his head, and started going deeper into the dungeon.
